Rambus (RMBS)

[cordob]

No need for Hypertransport because PCIe is the evolving standard; sorry, Cor. Mr. Kumar thinks embedded graphics will be good enough for mainstream PCs.

Hi Threejack,

This is what they say at Intel, of course. NIH! (not invented here)
Meanwhile there is (has been for some time) Hypertransport inside about 20% of PCs, a higher percentage of network processors, all Apples etc...
Als Hypertransport is enabling the interconnection of 2-way and 4-way AMD processors without any additional chips.

Of course after 5 years one can design a better bus, but I can tell you, if Hypertransport had been Rambus' there would have been major royalty income from this

Cheers
Cor
